How often do asteroids come near Earth and should we be worried?

The solar system contains at least 1.4 million known asteroids, primarily within the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Near Earth Objects (NEOs) pose potential collision risks. Daily, Earth encounters over ten tons of dust, while larger objects sporadically strike, causing varying impacts. Notably, the 300-meter asteroid Apophis will pass close in 2029, 2036, and 2068, with low collision risk. Nasa's DART mission showcases asteroid deflection capabilities. No known large asteroid is predicted to hit Earth in the next 1,000 years.
